Resumo: We review the phase behaviour of pure and mixed patchy colloids, as revealed (mostly) by theory and computer simulation. These experimentally-realisable systems are excellent models for investigating the general problem of the interplay between (equilibrium) phase transitions and self-assembly in soft condensed matter. We focus on how liquid vapour condensation can be pre-empted by the formation of different types of aggregates, in particular rings, which we argue is relevant to the criticality of empty fluids and network fluids, and possibly also of dipolar fluids. In this connection we also discuss percolation and gelation in pure and mixed patchy colloids. Finally, we describe the rich phase behaviour of (mostly binary) patchy colloid mixtures.
